Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I got paid on Zelle for my side hustle, do I have to report it to the IRS?”
Payments received through Zelle for side hustle work can raise reporting questions, since the IRS generally looks at the nature of the income rather than the app used to receive it. The answer often depends on whether the payment was for goods or services, whether the activity is a business or occasional personal activity, and what records exist for the payments and related expenses. In many cases, the platform itself does not determine tax treatment, so the source of the funds and how the work is carried on tend to matter more. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
